Smith's Cabaret CabalSaturday April 11, 3pm - Sunday April 12, 2026 9pm
A Weekend of Saucy Secrets, Ingenious Intrigues & Cleverly Contrived Confabulations.
Smith’s Cabaret Cabal is an informal, semi-regular weekend of exploring Canberra’s ‘cabaret’ scene. Cabaret, in this instance, is loosely defined as ‘a form of theatrical entertainment featuring, but not limited to, music, song, dance, recitation, or drama’, often, as in this case, performed in bars or similar establishments. Generally it will consist of discrete one or two hour show formats and at times feature a house band between shows. In this case the fabulous, enigmatic and utterly morbid Blue Angel and Doctor Wiedermann. fb.com/BlueAngelandDrWiedemann/
